title: [Analysis of approaches to assessment of persistent loss of capacity to work in patients who had undergone coronary bypass surgery].
abstract: Aim of the study was to assess factors influencing decisions about persistent disability of patients after coronary bypass surgery (CBS). By method of continuous sampling (registry study) we examined 427 working age patients who had undergone CBS. Although surgical treatment was effective rehabilitating factor most patients after CBS at inspection in institutions of medical social expertise were unreasonably classified as having low degree of restoration of ability to work. Possible explanations of this were incomplete volume of conducted tests, lack of relation between presence of functional class of angina and real clinical picture of this syndrome, absence of objective criteria of the presence of myocardial ischemia and tolerance to physical exercise, ill-timed referral to medical social inspection.
